After a hiatus which included exams, work, and summer, I AM BACK! AND ITS BABY TIME!
Chapter 28: Revelation
"Darling how is it?" Derek asks me while driving
"It's fine now. I'm calling home." I say and grab my phone and dial the number
"Hey Tony winners! What's up?" Grace answers
"I'm h-h-h-having the-"
"OH MY GOD GUYS KAREN'S IN LABOUR!" I hear her shout over the phone.
"Meet us at 'New-York Presbyterian'" I say and hang up as a contraction hits. "DEREK YOU ARE NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GETTING NEAR MY BODY EVER AGAIN!"
"I'm sorry love but we know that isn't going to happen I'm just too irresistible." Derek flirts actually making me laugh a bit before it comes back. I then start the breathing exercises as we pull in and Derek runs out and grabs a wheelchair as I rip off my shoes and leave them in the car. He comes back and swoops me up bridal style and gets me in the wheelchair and heads inside.
"May I help you?"
"Yes, my wife's water broke about 15 minutes ago and is feeling contractions." Derek says as I begin to breathe normal again.
"Okay follow me." she says and I get wheeled into a room and what happens next is a blur.
I find myself lying down in a hospital bed in a hospital gown with Derek holding my hand and my parents on my other side.
"Okay so you are 5 centimeters dilated so we got a few ways to go. Now I see you are registered for a natural birth?"
"Yes."
"Have fun." The nurse says as she walks out.
"Oh yeah. We each hung onto a card for you so here is Derek's and yours." My mom says as she hands each of us the card and we put it face down away from each other and my parents walk out.
"Well I cannot believe this is finally happening." I say to Derek who is smiling then places a hand on my stomach.
"Brown hair brown eyes. Tiny but mighty." Derek says making me smile and presses his lips against mine but is cut short when I feel another contraction.
"AHHHH!"
"Karen take my hand." I do so and-
"BLOODY HELL KAREN OUCH!"
"Sorry" I say in between and it stops.
"No it's alright. Now I know how strong you truly are." Derek says moving a strand of hair from my face and kissing my forehead.
"HEEEEEY!" Bobby announces as he leads in the band of my New York family and Kyle puts down pink roses at my bedside earning me to kiss his cheek.
"Last time we were all here, we thought you died but now, you are giving a new life!" Dennis squeals.
"How are you?" Ivy asks
"In pain."
'Can't you get and epidural?" Sue asks
"I WILL NOT LET MY BLOODY GRANDCHILD BE BORN THROUGH DRUGS!" Leigh Anne screams as they all turn then turn back to me mouthing 'nope'
"So do you have any idea on when it will happen? Ana asks
"No idea but hopefully soon." I say.
Julia and Amy come in and join the others.
"Marlena, Lisa and the others went to get something to eat. We wanted to stay." Amy said.
"Well I'm only 5 cm dilated so no rush. How's Michael?" I ask Julia
"He's good."
"And you Amy, Rick, Tanner and Talia?"
"They are good and super excited to have a new playmate." She smirks and we all stay and talk for a few hours as a group.
"Oh so Jimmy and I set a date…February 5th."
"That's nice. Where is he?"
"Bathroom and he said that whatever happens with 'HitList' is okay. He knows you all love the show and won't jeopardize it because of the baby."
"What time is it?" Tom asks as Sam pulls out his watch
"Just after 3 a.m."
"Guys get some sleep don't worry about me." I say and within minutes everyone hugs and kisses me goodbye and Derek peaks telling me they all fell asleep in the waiting room.
"Derek if you want to-"
"No love, I will be here with you every minute."
"Derek, I have been in labour for 6 hours, it's going to be awhile."
"Well why not kill some time." Derek smirks grabbing his card and placing it in his hands so the name is facing him.
"Are you sure?" I ask as he nods and I sit up and get mine and he sits on the bed opposite of me.
"On 3." I say as I take a deep breath
"1"
"2"
"3" we say together and flip the cards facing us.
My breath gets caught as I see the name mirror mine and Derek has the same expression on his face.
"Rosa Georgia Wills"
"Our deep connection with roses." Derek adds as tears spring down my face.
"And Georgia-"
"Because of George." Derek finishes leaving me nodding and we get into a tight embrace.
"She looks like a Rosa to." I say
"That she does."
"I love you Derek."
"I love you to."
Derek then let's go and places a kiss then hand on my stomach. "Only a few more hours." He says and we have our heads pressed together before he lies down beside me for a bit.
"Derek I'm having another contraction." I say which wakes him up. I don't blame him for falling asleep it is now 4:40 a.m. He immediately gets up and clutches my hand clenching his teeth.
"Still want nothing to do with my body?" Derek jokes but I don't laugh I just glare.
"Not the time nor the place Der-AHHHHHHH! THIS HURTS!"
"I'm getting the doctor!" Derek says as he pushes the button and Dr. Eman comes in as I get my breathing back to normal and I get checked.
'Well." She says as she puts on her rubber gloves "You are fully dilated."
At that moment Ana, Sue, Marlena and Grace walk in with Julianne and stop when they see Dr. Eman turn around and a flew of doctors come in.
"OH MY GOD GUYS SHE'S HAVING THE BABY! WAKE UP EVERYONE!" they all shout and within minutes…it's time.
"Derek…I'm scared." I cry and already feel tears fall down my face.
"I am to love but you can do this." Derek says pressing a kiss to my cheek.
"Okay Karen, I need you to push!"
I do what the doctor instructs and after that I am exhausted and can feel not only sweat but tears trickle down.
"Darling you are doing great just hang in there." Derek reassures me as I push again this time screaming pretty loud.
"If you need to scream that's fine." Dr. Eman says
"DEREK JACK JUST ARRIVED!"
"THANKS TOM!" they shout to each other through the walls.
I begin to feel a bit light headed and woozy as my head falls back onto the pillow while Derek strokes my head and kisses it.
"Derek I can't I'm too weak I'm scared-"
"Karen Hope Wills, you are not weak and you can do this! Do you know how much of an incredible woman you are? I mean you are doing something that I couldn't do and it is going great. You fought for so much and conquered the impossible and that is one of the many reasons I love you."
I let out a smile as I hear a nurse awe and Dr. Eman yell: "CAN WE NOTEBOOK LATER ILA? WE HAVE A BABY TO DELIVER!"
With that I get on track, grip Derek's hand and push again.
"Great push! One more!"
"Ready to meet her?" I asked Derek
"I have ever since you told me." he beams
"1-2-3!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
My head falls back into the pillow and my eyes slam shut as past moments flash before my eyes. My wedding, our honeymoon, every "I love you", 'Oliver', the night at Julia's, finding out about the pregnancy, every appointment, the ball, the parties, the moments that all led up to this moment and when I open my eyes I look at Derek who has tears pouring from his eyes and I look right in front of me and I see her for the first time.
My eyes become waterfalls as she gets cleaned and I hear her cry for a bit and I cling onto Derek in an embrace.
"We did it."
"You went through that darling, my hand just took the battle." He replies and shows his red hand. I kiss it better in a joke and turn back to where our daughter is.
"20 Inches, 7 pounds 6.5 oz. Healthy baby and wants to meet mamma. Congratulations." She says and she places Rosalie into my arms
She immediately stops crying and I just marvel at her. So tiny and pure it is one of the best things I have even felt and witnessed in my life and I am immediately in love with her. Derek comes to sit beside me as I marvel in our little family.
"Gods she looks as beautiful as you." Derek beams as her eyes flutter open and I see the biggest brown eyes ever and kiss her forehead.
"You were right, big and brown, but you have your daddy's mouth." I coo to the sleeping baby
"And your nose." Derek points out kissing her forehead.
"Derek…" I say and he looks up at me in shock as I hand over Rosalie to him and he takes her in ease.
I watch him just stare at her sleeping and can't help but smile. I see him lightly smile and sniffle tears back. Derek has been the most beautiful husband ever inside and out and I know he will be a great father. Suddenly she starts to cry again and Derek gets a bit paranoid.
"What did I do?"
"Nothing. It's normal she's comfy there." I lean over to her and lightly sing "You're my daytime, my nighttime my world, you are my life." with that she actually stops and begins to coo a bit making me laugh.
"Told you your voice was magical." Derek teases as my parents walk in followed by his and everyone just surrounds us. I give Rosalie to my mom first and she goes gaga over the baby already.
"I'm Gramma Lizzie!" she coos
"So, what's her name?" Ronnie asks
"Rosa Georgia Wills." I announce as everyone awe's
"She looks like a Rosa." Charles says as he holds the baby.
"Hi! I'm uncle Bobby, your favorite uncle!" Bobby announces and holds her tight making her coo.
She has touched everyone so much when they get a turn…especially Julia.
"Julia…we were wondering if you wanted to be the godmother with Amy?" I ask
"Karen no I couldn't-"
"Julia you helped me through this so much and I know how much you love kids. Plus she was made under your roof."
"Oh yeah." Julia comes back making us laugh. "Of course I will. Plus I love Amy to bits so this shall be fun."
Derek told Jack he wants him to be the godfather and almost broke down and agreed to it. I decided to stay another night because I was exhausted and it would be easier for all of us. Derek and I spent the rest of the day just laying there watching over Rosa now being all clean thanks to the doctors.
"It's amazing really. How dreams can become reality." I say to Derek watching over a sleeping angel nuzzled in his hold.
"And it all takes hold into precious moments." Derek finishes as he puts one finger close to her hand and she finds it and grabs hold of it. "Bloody hell she has a grip."
I laugh and give Derek a kiss on the cheek as we hear Eileen, Marc and Scott come in. Marc and Scott immediately head over to Rosalie and coo at her while we Eileen gets ready to talk to us.
"'Carmen' won 'Best Musical' and someone from the press found out about Raskin's attack and someone confessed to hiding the real nomination list for best actress under hush money from the creative team of 'Material Girl' but they found it just as he was leaving and got a call from the nominating committee so 'Material Girl' will be closing in shame next week."
Derek and I stare at her in shock.
"Are you serious?"
"Karen, you're Broadway's baby I'm not surprised they felt that way. Now speaking of baby," Eileen answers as she moves to where Rosa is and finds the name on her bed.
"Rosa Georgia Wills, you look so much like your mother and father. May I?" Eileen asks as we both nod and she picks up our sleeping daughter and holds her tight.
"I'm Nana Eileen." She coos "I was shocked at first when I heard you were coming into the world but now that you are here, you will bring a lot of joy here."
Eileen smiles as she yawns and her eyes flutter open revealing my eyes to.
"I knew you would have your mother's eyes." She says before Rosa starts to cry and she hands her over to me and I hold her close to me again.
"Eileen I cannot thank you enough." Derek says hugging her and kissing her on the cheek
"If you guys need anything, give me a call I get a break from Broadway now for a while." She says before leaving and I still hold Rosalie to me and I kiss her head as she shuts her eyes again and gives a light smile.
"Well Derek. We did it. We conquered every obstacle on our way to be where we are today."
"And I am still madly in love with the girl who walked into the audition room with her skinny jeans, striped blouse, bouncy curly hair and a smile that lit up the room."
I grin at Derek's words before placing a kiss on his lips
"I love you so much."
"I Love you to." Derek says before looking down on our daughter in my arms "But you, I love very very much." He coos as we stare at our sleeping miracle and begin the next chapter in our lives.
